Analysis of malaria incidence, mortality, and intervention coverage (ITN and IRS) across African countries from 2013–2024. This project brings together WHO and World Bank datasets, cleans and merges them, and uses R to explore trends, run regressions, and understand how intervention coverage relates to malaria outcomes. GLOBAL HEALTH OBSERVATORY DOWNLOAD ==================================== This zip data file has been downloaded from Name: Malaria treatment and intervention coverage URL: who.int Description:  Malaria transmission occurs in 80 countries across five WHO regions. Since 2015, the WHO European Region has been free of malaria.According to the World Malaria Report 2025 , there were 282 million estimated cases of malaria globally in 2024, with an incidence of 64 cases per 1000 population at risk. This is an increase of 9 million cases from the previous year and a rise in incidence from 62.7 cases per 1000 population at risk in 2023. Globally, in 2024, the number of deaths was estimated at 610 000, with a mortality rate of 13.8 per 100 000 population at risk. The WHO African Region continues to carry the heaviest burden of malaria, accounting for an estimated 94% of malaria cases and 95% of malaria deaths worldwide in 2024; 75% of all deaths in this region were among children aged under 5 years old.  Source: WMR2025 Date generated: 2026-01-06 It contains csv files divided into two folders: data and codes data: contains one csv file per indicator under "Malaria treatment and intervention coverage" codes: contains one csv file per disaggregation/dimension used in the data files Hierarchy parent: malaria self: malaria-treatment-intervention-coverage children: GHO Malaria cases treated with artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), number MALARIA_ACT_TREATED Malaria cases treated with artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), number MALARIA_IRS_COVERAGE Malaria protection, people protected from malaria by indoor residual spraying (IRS), number MALARIA_ITN_COVERAGE Malaria protection: insecticide-treated bed net (ITN) , population with access (%), modelled MALARIA_IPTP3_COVERAGE Malaria treatment IPTp3: pregnant women attending a …
